Matthew's Obsession

Matthew's Obsession
Originally uploaded by donnyatx

Matthew has some OCD tendencies. Since Michael has none, excluding his computer games, I have to blame myself for passing it to him.

Most recently he has become obsessed with taking his temperature.

Every.Single.Day.

Sick or not, he's gonna take his temperature. He WANTS to be sick. I'm sure it's no secret that when you are a kid, staying home from school is FUN. Well, for the "typical" kid anyway. He's pretty typical.

So every day it's the same. He gets up, takes his temperature. He'll inform us that its 98-99 and that he "feels funny". We do the typical eyeroll at him and tell him he's going to school and that he needs to get over it. Daily ritual here.

When he gets home he takes it again- unless he's got something he wants to do. Then he's "totally fine momma!!!" He could be dying, but he's totally fine- because he WANTS to be doing whatever it is.

Silly boy!
